Question

Consider the division of 15h2 + 10h + 25 by 5h.

= X + Y +



What are the values of X and Y?

Answer 1

(15h^2+10h+25)/(5h)
(15h^2+10h+25)/(5)
(3h^2+2h+5)/(h)
(15h^2+10h+25)/(5h)
(5h)(3h)=15h^2
(10h+25)/(5h)
(5h)(2)=10h
(25)/(5h)=5/h=\=
(15h^2+10h+25)/(5h)= 3h+2, with a remainder of 25

Answer 2

x =3h and y =2

Explanation:

`(15h^2+10h+25)/(5h) \\(15h^2)/(5h) +(15h^2)/(5h)+(25)/(5h)  \\`

on simplifying first and second term we get

`(15h^2)/(5h) =3h`

`(10h)/(5h) =2`

leaving the third term as it is asking first terms after simplification

therefore x+y =3h +2+

so x = 3h and y = 2
